Outstanding
We did a 5 day safari - Nairobi-Amboseli-Lake Nakuru-Masi Mara-Nairobi.
This was just the right amount of time to see 3 different environments (mountain, lake and savanna), and all the animals.
Now having understood the driving times, I would have probably changed the order and ended in Mombasa, instead of returning to Nairobi.
Dec/Jan is a great time to come, before the rush of tourists for the migration.
Oakland service was fantastic from the second we engaged with them through safaribookings.com. The driver they provided was great - knowledgeable, funny and also understood when we just wanted to snooze and not chat on some of the long drives between Parks. We were keen to learn all about Kenyan culture, so thankfully we had Mr Henry to educate us. On the game drives, it was clear he had huge respect for the animals and their environment (when there were other drivers being intimidating and disrespectful of both).
As with everything, you get what you pay for - we mixed it up, with some standard lodges, and the last 2 night in the Masi Mara in luxury, over NYE, with a sunrise air ballon ride on New Year’s Day. Worth every penny. With Park fees so high, the temptation is to do only one night in each, which is a shame, because you don’t get enough time to enjoy some spectacular accommodation, food and hospitality.
With so many safari operators here, it’s difficult to know which to pick - I can only say that Mr Henry, our driver and Oakland have been excellent in every respect.

Posted on May 15, 2025Thanks Dan, for sharing your thoughts—it’s such a great insight for anyone planning a Kenyan safari
And a luxury stay in the Masai Mara over New Year's Eve, topped off with a sunrise balloon ride? That is the definition of unforgettable. Definitely worth the splurge!
